9.10pm And Pakistan have declared their innings at 579 for 3. I'll be right back for WI's reply.

Lakwin: "One for the statistical fanatics. The only 2 players to be on the top 10 individual performance lists of their country in batting and bowling both are - Shakib for Bangla with 144(9) and 7/36(2), 6/59(7) AND G. Flower for Zim with 201(4) and 8/104(8) ! Pakistani great Wasim made it to the batting list but not the bowling one!"

Abhro: "@Shabaib 25th not 29th. 4 batsmen have scored triples twice. "

Anjali: "Azhar Ali 1st Century, 1st Double Century and 1st Triple Century in D/N Test"

Shahid Afridi tweets: "Monumental effort @AzharAli. What a performance, Test 300 is nothing less than a dream performance. Congrats hero!"

Shabaib Abdulla: "Waowwww Azhar is the 29th player to get triple hundred."

Blackwood to Azhar Ali, FOUR, That's it! Azhar becomes the fourth Pakistani, after Hanif, Inzaman and Younis, to hit a triple-ton, in Test cricket. So, the first centurion in D-N Test cricket is also the first triple-centurion. The small crowd and the Pakistan dressing room lap up Azhar. This was tossed up and overpitched outside off, Azhar belted it through the covers to reach his 300 in Pakistan's 400th. Coach Arthur has his hands aloft in the change room. The only thing missing: press-ups!
